"I'm looking for a house that will sleep 16 people." 

......... (13 bedroom house) 

"Well, now we have 21 people, is there enough space?" 

........ (someone else rents the house before we get our deposit in) 

"Well we need about 4 hotel rooms now."

I have the greatest most loving, caring, and all around good person as a mother. And I am so lucky that she is all mine...well not all mine, I do have to share with my younger sister. But she cool so it's okay. But I love my mommy with all my heart and I know there isn't another person out there like her. 

Happy Mother's Day Mommy/Best Friend <3

Mommy (5/8)

Posted by Oliver Dzierzewicz in Storytelling - Chase on
Well I had off from work today so I suppose that was a plus and I got to spend some time with my mom, even if it was at home. Though one downside I would have to say was being sick. I mean having a cold can really ruin a day; you know? Though I am glad I saw my mom happy. Oh and my grandmother, cant forget her.

Mother's day

Omg, I can't stand anymore. I've been trying to work on this same essay for three days straight. I keep getting the same answer that won't answer my question. I'm emotionally distraught, not only from this paper, but from my life. Oh geez, I'm at my limit. I honestly can't handle much more...

At least I was able to give my mom a good mother's day. This was the first one without my dad. He usually took care of everything. I didn't know what to do, so I started with the small things. I let her sleep in, pulled up ecards with out favorite characters on them, then I did her hair. I gave her bangs like me and curled her hair. It looked really nice, once she pulled them into a ponytail-ish bun. We went out to Ruby Tuesdays and got our favorite waiter.

I guess I don't care about how I feel today. As long as mom is happy, then I will be happy to.

Info-graphic: Kentucky/West Virginia Sludge Spill 2000

Posted by Aaron Johnson in American History - Laufenberg on
Aaron Johnson's Reflection

After an immense amount of research, Delesha, Sam, and I were able to create this info-graphic about the sludge spill that took place in the year 2000 and ruined properties in Kentucky and West Virginia. Something the three of us did well is that we were all able to display our ideas and the information we pulled and mix it together into one info-graphic. Instead of delegating the assignments, we decided to conduct all of the research as a team. This way, we did not have to take the time to present anything to each other because we learned every piece of information as a group. One thing I would change about our project is the photographs. I wish we were able to find more visuals to add to our project but since the sludge spill is so controversial with the Bush administration, there are not may pictures online.

Upstanding citizen? Sort of..

Posted by Taylor Valentine in Storytelling - Chase on
As I walked down the street today, a man stopped me. 

"Excuse me, could you call an ambulance for me? I feel like I'm going to pass out."
"You feel like you're going to pass out? Um, sure.."

I must have sounded ridiculous repeating his words in question form, but it took me by surprise and I didn't know what else to say. 

After I placed the 911 call, I asked him if he was ok and if I could leave.

"Yes, you can go. Thank you."
"No problem."

About twenty minutes later, the dispatcher called me back.

"Did you call about the man at 20th and Locust?"
"Yes, but I left."
"Oh, I'll let them know."

The more I thought about it, the more I wondered if I should have stayed.
